At what price will you stop buying games?

So now 360/ps3 games are pretty much 70-80$ here in Canada with tax and all that, for me its pretty much borderline now, I will only get games I am really hyping. Big titles like FF13, etc. But when will you stop buying games all together, or at least buy very very little?

I think the big theme next gen should not be hardware improvement, and should be cost reduction. Nintendo already saw this coming and stood back and let the Wii be cheaper than the rest, and its payed off big time.

Discuss =D

Depends. I'd pay $100 for games like BP or UC2 but I'd only pay $60 for games like Killone 2 or Red Faction: Guirilla.

Excluding special editions, $60 USD is the highest I'll go for console games, $50 for PC (since a $50 PC game is technically the same as a $60 console game, due to licensing fees).

I hardly buy new games at $60 right now, I usually look for sales or deals that comes with gift cards and such, but if they raised the standard price to $70 it might make me think twice about this hobby.

lawl most game here where I live generally go for around 100 bucks

If they get at 70, I just buy used.

i live in canada also. i paid 79.09$ at eb games for demon's souls. i know for a fact that if this continues, i will not be buying a next gen system. unless its mod friendly8)

There are only a handful of games in my collection that I've paid 60$ for. I think most developers are shooting themselves in the foot charging so much out the gate when they could probably have far more sales charging a bit less than everybody else.

It matters what game it is, I already pay up to ￥70,000-90,000 for a eroge, I just have to think the game is worth it.

so far the only game that i bought new was Gears 2, i always buy games months after the release because i can't afford a new one or just buy a pre-owned one

depends on the quality of the game, Back on the snes i paid 70-80 for chrono trogger...

If they go up any higher, I'm selling my consoles for crack.

I would never play a video game again.

So true, I dont have many games ive payed 60$ or more for. Some competitive pricing is what the games need, & that why all developers need to stand back and figure out ways to charge less, I think 40$ is a good price for games. Especially now adays when times arent as good and most games are able to be beat in a few days.

Any price over $50, unless i really want the game. I paid over 50 for Bioshock special edition because i wanted it badly, but if there is a game that is just "meh", like borderlands or MW2, then i won't buy it, even if both of those were $50

If they get past the $60 mark, that will be the day I stop buying games.IAmLegend7

If the price gets any higher than sixty bucks then I might just get all my games used or wait for a price drop from there on out! As of right now I ocassionaly get new games, but for the most part it is pretty much used games at this point.

they are already too much money. I wont pay any more than 60. Id just buy like 20 retro games for like 30$ on ebay

$60 is the highest I'll go. But even that's pushing it.

I refuse to go over 90 dollars for a game, personally I thin kthat 60 bucks is quite ridiculous as well. Id lke games to go back to there old prices of 30-40 dollars.

50 is the highest I will go. I don't buy new 360 games for this reason. No game is worth over 50 to me unless it has something extra to it (Guitar hero and it's guitar for example).

I havent bought any new games, I usually buy used or after a while when the price goes down!!

if gamesgo higher than $60, I think the game industry will pretty much be destroyed :?

$60 is the limit, even for games I really want.

i voted for at any price, because even if it does become ridiculously expensive, atleast we were savour and appreciate the game more. And i would probably stop buying games when they started throwing in jars of anthrax with every purchase.

Probably all depends on the value of the dollar and what shape our economy is in when they bump up the price. I'd probably only buy a select few games if they were $70-80 right now. But if they were that much in say, 10 years. I doubt it'd bother me much. Since it probably wouldn't be that much of a change taking inflation into account.

games are ridiculously expensive in canada...makaveli_89

I hate the current price of games, that's why I only buy 2 or 3 games a year. I try to choose the best games that year though.

I've only bought about 3-5 games for $30+ out of my 70+ games(ps2). There's just no reason to buy games at full price when you can wait a few weaks for about a $20 discount, or wait a few months for the game to drop significantly.There are tons of dealsduring the Black Friday sale and MW2 Deals even at launch to get giftcards from various stores.I know some people don't like waiting, but you shouldn't complain about the game prices if you have no patience. I've never bought a game over $40 unless you count those Nintendo64 games when I had no idea they costed so much, and when I have it wasn't really worth it.
